i recently got some Passat headlight assy.'s from mike VXCL-

i wanna get every penny out of what ever it is i spend my money on in life.

this is also good practice for my soon to be (as soon as i muster enough balls)

projectors project, i am scared to mess up my lamps at the moment so hear we go.


Projectors out side of the passat headlamps in my room.


progession with implantation of turn signal reflector

 

i didnt put the lense on the clear corner , i just attached the bulb to give u guys an idea.

 

wasup with that ol' rusty pistol?

 

wanna find out ...

 

we CAN get it crackin' cuz

 

wait...so what exactly did you do to your turn signal?

 

This is what I baught off of mike (vxcl)

i used my dremel tool and took the projectors out (they are in front of the

Georgia Bulldogs stone and the ferrari f50).. If you notice, in the corner

of the housing, where the blinker is (on the passat light), there is a circular

light diffuser or reflector, or whatever you'd like to name it. It was held in by

a pesky 6 star screw. i dremeled the plastic around it and used the vice grips to

pry it out.



Acura 97-99 Clear bumper lenses are pretty wacked. I dont even know why I got

them in the first place. I guess its something we all tend to want to do immediately.

I had a hole in the edge of one of my clears, go figure, you get what you pay for, for 20

bucks. I have had my ambers on for a hot while now. And as I was finishing up the

Dis-assembly of the Passat Lamp, I noticed eh, maybe I could use these.

My clear corner project is not done yet, it should come out pretty nice. I plan on buying

some female-male universal wire connectors so I could easily switch my parking lights

to my blinker lights so I could put yellow bulbs in the clear lense and have them always

on, sorta like a lexus look. I also want to drill a hole in the high beam section of our

headlight housing to have the look of the jag x-series, this is a plan that I have for while

I am doing the projectors, I hopefully will be able to have these parking lights with a

threading so I can easily swap colors.

Here is a pic of new "euro" clears.





i dremeled (butchered) them apart and put the diffusers in, it takes 7-14 days for the

sealant to cure, so I wont be finished for a little while, I'll keep you guys posted.

 

the rifle and pistol are from WWII , my grand-pops told me stories about how he was

"in the trenches" when I was younger. The guns are collectibles.

 

dope
you should keep them somewhere safe though

 

the lights hopefully will be ready for the meet 2 morrow

 

so what are u doing with the bumper light?

 

I always wanted to put a city lamp in my high beam. like a 5 watt bulb im many high end cars. i was at one time gonnna just make th e9005s DRLs but now its come to the point where no more $$$$ in the cl. I want a new car and the subaru legacy gt seems like the one. good luck on ur project. cant wait to see them all finished up.

 

implanting the passat's turn signal reflector.

its the clear bumper lense, so i really dont care if i fudge it up.

it was already leaked into to begin with.

 

but why?

 

i feel like it might make the output better.

I am also the creative type, in my youth, while experimenting with drugs,

I used to make all sorts of bongs out of orange juice containers and shit.

I also made a bubbler out of a Y-shaped outdoor hose extension and a test tube from

Earth Science class. I'm glad those days are over (flashbacks of the thread "just me and

my grille"). I caught a lot of flak for that thread, but hey, this forum isn't what it used to

be and controversy certaintly stirs up the pot and makes things interesting over here at

A-CL.com!

 

drying it now

 

seems like alot of work for a VERY suddle mod. I would put some kind of fog light projector in there or something.......

 

i finished them

 

Looks interesting. Do you have before and after. i not sure what it looks like come to think of it. LOL

 

amber - which i plan on keeping.


the clears - which are not the toughest, but i'll probably keep them on for the time
being, i might even let them stay on untill the spring time



now for the grand finale. the clears with the passat diffusers blinking !

 

I don't know what you did to urs

 

I think he swapped out the euro clears lens with another car's euro clear lens. That is my take on it. I have no clue really though.

 

dont scratch your head, unless it itches.

i did some silly shit.

i took the small circular diffuser out of the blinker housing of the passat headlamp.

i dremeled the clear lense off of the clear bumper lights, drilled holes so the diffuser would

fit. then i used a little rubber cement to keep the legs of the diffuser in place.

i then went to home depot and baught some latex/vinyl sealant. I sealed the lights

back together. This mod didnt have much of a purpose. BUT it did kind of wet my

feet so to say for the projector mod that i will do (hopefully shortly, if i muster up enough

testicles). I'll be at the meet 2 morrow.

 

in other words - if thise bullseye looking thing weren't there,

thered be a hole for the bulb. this thing has 3 legs, i drilled holes and cemented it in.

there is a rainbow-like glow that is in between each ring. This is what sparked me to

take apart the housing, that, and the fact that there is already a hole and sand/dirt/fog

leaking into my clear. I also dont like clear corners, I think they only look good on lighter

colored cars, but even CL's that are primrose or white dont look as good with them as they

do with ambers
